Description

200816742 IX. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention generally relates to communication networks. More specifically, the present invention relates to systems and methods for adapting flux data management. [Prior Art] The communication network is used in various environments. A communication network typically includes two or more nodes connected by one or - rural links. In general, a communication network C) is used to support communication between two or more participating nodes through the links and intermediate nodes in the communication network. There may be many types of nodes in the network, such as - the network may include punctualities such as users, servers, workstations, interleaving, τ, and/or routers. The link can be, for example, a modem connection over a telephone line, cabling, an Ethernet link, an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) circuit, a satellite link, and/or a fiber optic cable. The L-network can actually consist of one or more smaller communication networks. For example, the Internet is often described as a network that interconnects computer networks. Each ° does not: the architecture and / or layout. For example, - the network can be changed to the parent of the layout for the Ethernet, and the other distribution interface (FDDIm. Bellow is the first fiber. The second network can carry a variety of data. For example, a network Can be carried. Increase the frequent; the case of the transmission of the material. The data transmitted on the network as a two stream: pass: material 2 or frame to transmit. Or, the flow can actually be a twist 5 skin, String ^ or data ^ ^ ° column. For example, the network of the Internet 4 4 around the node between the #is A, j峪曰 in a 鞄k for the general read path, and carrying a different f 121788.doc 200816742 Quantitative data arrays. Communication over a network usually involves multiple levels of communication protocols. Protocol stacks (also known as network stacks or protocol suites) refer to a set of protocols used for communication. Each agreement can focus on one A particular type of communication capability or form. For example, an agreement may relate to electrical signals required to communicate with a device to which a copper wiring is connected. Other protocols may, for example, be used to resolve between two nodes separated by a number of intermediate nodes. Sorting and reliable transmission.

疋 The synergy between the 疋 疋 heaps usually exists in one level. The agreement is often classified into several layers. A reference layer of the agreement model is the open system interconnection (〇si) model. The 0SI reference model includes seven layers: a physical layer, a data link layer, a network layer, a transport layer, a session layer, a presentation layer, and an application layer. The entity layer is the "lowest" layer, and the application layer is the "highest" layer. Two well-known transport layer agreements are Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). A well-known network The layer protocol is the Internet Protocol (I?). At the sending node, the data to be sent is passed from the highest to the lowest through the layer of the reduced stack. Conversely, at the receiving node, the data is from the lowest to the last. Upward violation of the layer. In each layer, the data is controlled by the protocol in the layer. For example, the transport layer agreement can add one (four) m to the data to sort the packet after the destination-destination node. Depending on the application, 'may not use certain layers, & even if it exists, it can only make the data wear a communication network tactical data network. The tactical data network can also be called tactical communication network. Roads may be detachments within an organization such as the military (eg, Army, Navy, and/or Air Force). tactical information 121788.doc 200816742: Nodes within the road may include, for example, individual soldiers, aircraft, command detachments, r Health, and/or radio. Tactics Internet material can be used to convey any legislation can position telemetry, sensor data, and / or real-time data such as the video may be an example of how to use a tactical data network system as follows Ο

C = The ground can provide supplies to the battle squad along the way. The escort is involved in the battle: Team White can provide the position of the manned flight vehicle through the satellite radio link. The patrol can continue along the escort route, and the instant video data is sent to the The commander, at the commanding and feeding office, can check the video data while the flight controller asks the UAv to provide video. The analysis = may find that the escort is gradually approaching the temporary explosive device),: through the direct wireless f material - the command to stop the road to (four) Guardian also warned the escort exists in the IED. ^ The various networks that may exist within a tactical data network can have many of the same architectures and features. For example, the network in the command squad may include a ten-bit network (LAN) and a radio link to a lower-than-higher and higher-end squad and field squad. The field team can communicate via both satellite and straight: path radio (10). Depending on the nature of the data and/or the physical characteristics of the network, it is possible to transmit the material in a point-to-point, multiple #, or broadcast manner. - The network may include, for example, a radio set to relay data. In addition, the network includes high frequency (hf) networks that allow long range communication. For example, a microwave network can also be used. & For other reasons, tactical networks often have extremely complex network addressing schemes and routing tables due to the variety of link and node types. In addition, some networks (such as the radio-based 121788.doc 200816742 network) can operate using bursts. That is, it does not continuously send data, and 传送 transmits periodic data bursts. This system is very (4) because the radios are broadcast on a particular channel that must be shared by all participants, and: only one radio can be transmitted.

(J tactical data network - there is a bandwidth limit. That is, the information to be conveyed at any given point in time is usually more than the available bandwidth. These restrictions may be due to (for example, the demand for m bandwidth exceeds the supply, and / or available communication technology can not supply enough bandwidth to meet the needs of users. For example, the bandwidth can be in the kilobits per second between certain nodes. In the tactical poor network with bandwidth limitation The less important data can block the network, hinder the passage of more important data in a timely manner, or even the receiving node can not reach. In addition, parts of the network can include (4) buffering to compensate for unreliable keys. This can cause additional delays. In addition, when the buffers fill up, the data may be discarded. ^ In many instances, the bandwidth available for the network cannot be increased. For example, the bandwidth available on the satellite communication link. It may be fixed and cannot be effectively increased without the deployment of another star. In these cases, the bandwidth must be managed rather than simply expanded to meet the demand. In larger systems, the network: bandwidth system Important resources. It is necessary for the application to use the frequency as efficiently as possible. See also, in the case of limited bandwidth, the application should preferably avoid "blocking pipes" (ie, overwhelming the link with data). The application should respond better when the bandwidth configuration changes. The bandwidth can be dynamically changed due to, for example, quality of service, congestion, k-blocking, priority reconfiguration, and line of sight. The network can be highly volatile. And the lenient can be changed dynamically and without notice. 121788.doc 200816742 The network of martial arts data can go through high latency. For example, the network of communication can be extended by about half a second or more, such as gi. "This may not be a problem, but for the communication such as instant, interactive supplement e " 丨, 司 with his Aβ (such as voice communication), it is hoped that the delay can be minimized as much as possible. Many of the tactical data networks are lost for a variety of reasons. For example,

Temporarily out of the paradigm, the destination node may be around, 甬〆' This may happen because, for example, the node has moved beyond the norm: the Γ key is blocked, and/or the node continues to quit. Data: The destination: the point is unreceivable and the intermediate node becomes L at the destination node and lacks sufficient capacity to buffer the data and is lost. In addition, the Zhonglang Lang point may not be able to buffer the point at all, in order to decide whether to let it leave to the transmission section. The library in the tactical data network (4) The application of the τ often does not notice and/or does not have the specific characteristics of the ten pairs. For example, X # ^ j: ^ ^. The application formula can assume the bandwidth of its 4 quantities. As another example, one should be two = it can be assumed that no data will be lost in the network. An application that does not consider the specific characteristics of the basic pass = path can actually worsen the problem. ^ - A private stream can be used to transmit a data stream, and its === frequent large bundles are effectively transmitted. In a broadcast radio network, for example, due to communication =& other nodes, the continuous stream can be subject to a greater additional burden, and the shared bandwidth is used. Threads will allow for more effective 121788.doc 200816742 Some agreements do not work well on the tactical data network. I. The protocol of TCP, because of the high latency that this network may encounter, cannot be fully functional on a radio-based tactical network.若干 There are several forms of handshake and response that need to be made, so that there is a message of forbearance in the evening (right). Ο Ο The information transmitted by the tactical data network often has various priority levels relative to other materials in the network. For example, a threat warning receiver in an aircraft has a higher priority than telemetry information for troops located miles away on the ground. As another example, h from the command of the warfare has a higher priority than the logistics communication behind the friendly line. This priority level may depend on the particular circumstances of the transmitter and/or receiver. For example, location telemetry data has a higher priority when the team is actively involved in combat than when the team travels along only a private patrol route. Similarly, instant video data from a UAV has a higher priority when it is above the target area than when it is only on the way. There are several ways to deliver data through and to the road. - a method for many communication networks, the best effort method. gp, if there are other needs (about the sinfulness, ordering and error of force k), the network will still do its best for the month b The land is good at handling the information conveyed. Therefore, the network does not (or does not) provide a guarantee for any destination of the data, and it does not guarantee data. It will arrive in the order of transmission or even if one or more bits in the data are changed without any transmission error. Another method is quality of service (Q〇S). Q〇s refers to one or more of a network. The ability to provide various forms of assurance for the shipments contained in 121788.doc -12- 200816742. For example, the network can be - data stream guarantee - a certain amount of bandwidth. For example, a network can guarantee two Specific Nodes: Two guarantees may be useful in situations where the two nodes communicate through the Internet. This may result in (for example) annoying communication gaps and/or complete silence. s can be regarded as a network to provide selected network traffic The main purpose of (10) is to provide priority including dedicated bandwidth, controlled jitter and delay (which is necessary for some-instant and interactive traffic), as well as improved loss characteristics. Provides a priority that does not make other streams ineffective. The guarantee of a pair of connected streams must not impair the guarantee of existing streams. Currently, methods for QoS are often required—each node in the network supports Q〇 S, or at a minimum, should also enable the network to involve - each node of a particular communication supports QoS. For example, in the current system towel, a delay guarantee is provided between the two nodes, and the traffic is carried between the two nodes. The __ node must know and agree to the present, and can guarantee it. There are several ways to provide QOS. One method is to integrate services, or "IntServ". IntServ provides a QOS system, where each of the networks Nodes support these services and retain those services once a connection is established. IntServ is responsible for the large amount of status information that must be maintained in each node and the amount associated with establishing such connections. The burden cannot be properly measured. Another way to provide QoS is to differentiate services, or "DiffServ". DiffServ is a service model that enhances the best efforts of networks such as the Internet. 121788.doc • 13-200816742. DiffServ differentiates traffic by user, service needs, and other criteria. DiffServ then marks the packet so that the network node can be configured via priority queue or bandwidth, or by selecting a dedicated route for a particular traffic flow. Different levels of services are provided. Typically, a node has various queues for each type of service. The node then selects the next packet to be transmitted from the queues based on the category category. 'Existing Q〇s solutions are often network-specific and each network type or architecture may require a different Q〇S configuration. Due to the mechanisms utilized by the existing qos solution, the current seemingly identical messages of the Q〇s system can actually have different priorities depending on the content of the message. However, data consumers may need to access high priority information without being overwhelmed by lower priority data. Existing QoS systems are unable to provide QoS based on message content at the transport layer. As mentioned, existing QoS solutions require nodes that involve at least one specific communication to support QoS. However, at the "edge" of the network, the nodes can be adapted to provide some Q〇s improvements, even if they are not fully guaranteed. If the node is a participating node in a communication (ie, sending and/or receiving) The node) and/or its system is located at the blocking point in the network, and the node is located at the edge of the network. The blocking point is one of the network where all traffic must pass through to another part. For example, a router or gateway from a LAN to a satellite link may be a blocking point because all traffic from the LAN to any node not on the LAN must pass through the gateway to reach the satellite. Therefore, there is a need for a system that provides Q〇s in a tactical data network and a method and method that provides QoS on the edge of the tactical data network. Furthermore, there is a need for an adaptive, configurable QoS system and method in a tactical data network. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a method for communicating data that includes, by assigning a priority Funding To prioritize the resource analysis - the network to determine the status of the network, and to communicate the information based at least in part on the priority of the data and the status of the network.

The data communication routine is configured to communicate the resource based at least in part on the priority of the data and the state of the network. 121788.doc • 15- 200816742 Figure 1 illustrates a tactical communication network context 100 operating in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The network environment 100 includes a plurality of communication nodes 11 一, one or eve, 4 channels 12G And/or a plurality of communication systems 150 that connect the nodes to the network switch 130 and one or more components that facilitate communication on the components of the network environment. The following discussion assumes that a network environment 100 includes More than one, .12G and more than one link 13(), but it should be understood that it is possible and expected to have other environments. ^ ζΛ J 1 1 0 may be and/or include, for example, a radio, a transmitter, a satellite, a receiver, a workstation, a server, and/or other computing or processing device. The network(s) 120 can be, for example, hardware and/or software for transmitting data between nodes 11. The network(s) 120 may include, for example, one or more nodes 110. The number of links 130 may be wired and/or wireless for transmission between the nodes 110 and/or network(s). connection. The communication system 150 can include software, firmware, and/or hardware for facilitating data transfer between, for example, node 110, network 120, and link 130. As shown in FIG. 1, communication system 150 can be implemented with respect to node 11, network(s), and/or link 130. In some embodiments, each node 110 includes a communication system 150. In some embodiments, one or more of the points 110 includes a pass. In some embodiments, one or more of the nodes 110 may not include a communication system 15A. The overnight system 150 provides dynamic management of data to help ensure communication over a warfare communication network, such as the network environment 100. As shown in FIG. 2, 121788.doc -16 - 200816742 In some embodiments, the system 150 operates as part of the transport layer in the OSI seven-layer protocol model and/or operates at the top of the transport layer. The system 150 can, for example, give priority to higher priority data that is passed to the transport layer in the tactical network. The system 150 can be used to facilitate communication in a single network, such as a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN), or across multiple networks. Figure 3 shows an example of a multiple network system. The system can be used, for example, to manage the available bandwidth rather than adding extra bandwidth to the network. Q In some embodiments, the system 150 is a software system, however the system 150 can still include hardware and software components in different embodiments. The system 150 can be, for example, a separate network hardware. That is, the system 150 can be adapted to function on a variety of hardware and software platforms. In some embodiments, the system will operate on the edge of the network rather than on nodes within the network. However, the system 15 can still operate inside the network (e.g., at a "blocking point" in the network). The system 150 can use rules and modes or profiles to perform flux management 1/ functions such as optimizing available bandwidth, setting information priorities, and managing data links in the network. In terms of "optimization, bandwidth, it refers to the technique of using the techniques described to increase the efficiency of the bandwidth used to convey data in one or more networks. Optimized bandwidth usage. This may include, for example, removing functional redundancy messages, message stream management or serialization, and message compression. Setting information priorities may include, for example, using a finer granularity than Internet Protocol (IP) based technologies. To distinguish between message types and serialize messages onto a data stream via a serialization algorithm based on selected rules. Data link management can include, for example, rule-based analysis of network measurements to implement rules, modulo 121788 .doc -17- 200816742 Changes in the style and/or data transport. The mode or profile may include a set of rules related to the operational needs of a particular network health state or condition. The system 150 provides the dynamics of the mode, Rapidly, reconfiguring, including rapid definition and switching to a new mode. The communication system 150 can be configured to cope with, for example, a service optimization in a volatile, bandwidth-limited network. Rights and Levels. The system is configured to manage improved data flow information to help increase the network's Q response capability and reduce communication latency. In addition, the system 150 is upgradeable and configurable. The flexible architecture of the adjustment provides interoperability to improve communication availability, survivability, and reliability. The system supports, for example, autonomous use of predictive and predictable system resources and bandwidth. A data communication architecture that adapts to a dynamically changing environment. In some embodiments, the system 150 provides throughput management of a tactical communication network with bandwidth limitations while maintaining an application's unobstructed use of the network. 50 provides throughput management of the network across multiple users and environments with reduced complexity. As mentioned above, in some embodiments, the system 150 is implemented in the 七SI seven-layer model. At the top of the host node in the fourth layer (transport layer) and/or at the top of the fourth layer (transport layer), and without specific network hardware required. The system 150 can operate the fourth layer interface without barriers. .which is An application can utilize a standard interface for the transport layer 'and does not notice the operation of the system 150. For example, when an application opens a communication end, the system 150 can transition at this point in the contract stack. The system 150 allows the application to use, for example, a TCP/IP communication interface provided by the operating system of one of the communication devices on the network instead of 121788.doc • 18·200816742 a specific one of the system 150 The interface is to achieve transparency. The system 15 rules can be written, for example, in Extensible Markup Language (XML) and/or provided via a custom dynamic link library (DLL). In some embodiments, the system 150 provides quality of service (QoS) on the edge of the network. The system's Q〇S capabilities are, for example, long on the edge of the network: for content-based, rule-based data prioritization. Prioritization (for example) may include differentiation and/or serialization. The system 15, for example, can distinguish messages into queues based on the user ◎ configurable distinguishing rules. The messages are serialized into a stream of data in the order indicated by the serialization rules (e.g., lack, loop, relative frequency, etc.) configured by the user. For example, using Q〇s on the edge, you can distinguish between data messages that are not recognized by traditional Qos methods based on the content of the message. The rules can be implemented, for example, in xml. In some embodiments, the system 150 allows the dynamic link library to have, for example, a custom code so that the month b can handle the ability to override the xml and/or support very low latency requirements. Access and/or departure information on the network may be ordered via the system 150.优先 Prioritization protects user applications from, for example, high-volume, low-priority data. The system 150 helps ensure that the application receives data to support a particular operational scenario or limitation. In some embodiments, when a host is connected to a LAN that includes a router that has an interface with a frequency-limiting tactical network, the system can be configured by a proxy server with a known QoS. Operation. In this configuration, the packet going to the regional network bypasses the system and immediately goes to the LAN. The system applies QoS to packets destined for tactical links with bandwidth limitations on the edge of the network. 121788.doc -19- 200816742 In some embodiments, the system 150 provides dynamic support for multiple operational scenarios and/or network environments via command profile switching. A setting slot can be white rainbow

A name or other identifying item that allows the user or system to change to a /, name profile. A profile may also include one or more identification items, such as a functional redundancy rule identification item, a differentiation rule identification item, an archive interface identification item, a serialization rule identification item, a pre-send interface identification item, a post-reception identification item, Transportation identification, and/or other identification items. The functional redundancy rule specifies a rule that, for example, can be redundant from functions such as stale data or substantially similar to the material detection. The distinguishing rule identification item specifies a rule that, for example, =^^ is divided into columns for processing. Archiving interface identification items, for example, to the interface of the archive system. The serialization rule identification identifies a sample of the front of the control column and controls the serialization algorithm of the data serialization on the data stream. The pre-transmission interface identification item specifies the "face" for pre-transmission processing, which is provided, for example, for specific processing, such as encryption and compression. The post-transmission interface identification item identifies the interface for post-transmission processing/its (for example) Provided for processing such as decryption and decompression. The transport identification specifies a network interface for the selected transport. The profile may also include other information such as, for example, the size information of the queue. If the list and many (4) dedicated memory and secondary storage. "In some implementations, the system 15 () provides - the best wide rule-based approach. For example, the system 15() can use a selection rule to separate messages into message queues, thereby assigning-priority and - appropriate relative frequencies. The system 15. The 2 121788.doc -20. 200816742 redundancy rules can be used to manage functional redundancy messages. - The message (for example) is functionally redundant if it is not sufficiently different from the previous message that has not been transmitted on the network. That is, if a new message is sent to a scheduled message, it is not yet transmitted. If the difference between the older messages is not sufficient, then the newer message can be discarded because the f-message will carry the functional equivalent information and be in the middle of the pass. In addition, the functional redundancy can include the actual copied message and A newer message arriving before an older message is transmitted. For example, a node may receive the same copy of a particular message due to a basic network 〇 < feature, for example, transmitted over two different paths due to fault tolerance. Message. As another example, a new message may include data that replaces an older message that has not yet been transmitted. In this case, the system 150 may discard the older message and only transmit the new message. The system 150 may also A priority serialization rule including a priority-based message sequence for determining data streams. In addition, the system 15 may include: providing pre-transmission and post-transmission specific processing (eg, compression and/or encryption) Transmission Processing Rules. j In some embodiments, the system 150 provides fault tolerance to help protect data integrity and reliability. For example, the system can use user-defined queue selection rules. To classify the message into a small column. The size of the column is based on, for example, a user-defined configuration. This configuration specifies • (10) the maximum amount of memory that can be consumed, for example, the group. The state allows the user to specify the location and amount of the secondary storage that can be used for the overflow. After filling the memory in the queue, the message can be listed in the secondary = register. When the memory is also full, the system can remove the oldest message in the list and post an error message and post the latest message. If 121788.doc -21 · 200816742 is running right, it is enough to archive. The dequeue message may be archived using an indicator that does not upload the message on the network. / / may be configured for a particular application on a per-link basis for each of the links 150 Memory and secondary storage. Network The longer period of the week (4) can correspond to more memory to support network interruptions... the person wants the storage. The system 15() can be, for example, privately integrated with the network modeling and simulation application to help Identify the size, which in turn helps ensure the size of the queue

Ο 'The time between interruptions is sufficient to help achieve a steady state and help to avoid the final raft overflow. In addition, in some embodiments, the system 150 provides the ability to measure 埠 ("shaping") and 埠 ("review") data. Review and shaping capabilities help resolve timing mismatches in the network. Shaping helps prevent network buffers from being overwhelmed by high priority data that is listed after lower priority data. The review helps prevent application data consumers from having low priority data. Review and shaping are governed by two parameters: effective link speed and link ratio. Violating system 150 can, for example, form a data stream that does not exceed the effective link speed multiplied by the link ratio. These parameters can be dynamically modified as the network changes. The system also provides access to the detected link speed to support application level decisions on data metering. The information provided by the system can be combined with other network operational information to help determine which link speed is appropriate for a given network scenario. 4 illustrates data priority and network status utilized by a data communication system (e.g., data communication system 15 of FIG. 1 and/or data communication system 55 0 of FIG. 5) in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Several examples. Although the 121728.doc -22-200816742 provides such an example for the background of data communication between military aircraft on a low-frequency wide radio network, the tributary communication system can be used in a variety of data communication networks (eg, data communication). The network 120 and/or the data communication network 520) and/or the data communication environment (e.g., the data communication environment 1/ and/or the data communication environment 500) operate. A priority and/or information may be assigned to the material to be associated with a priority. For example, the data priority may include "high", "high", "medium", "medium low," "Ο" or "low", as shown in Figure 4. As another example, the data priority may include Let the pilot survive, "kill the enemy, or "act according to the information", as shown in Figure 4. A bill of material priority may be based, at least in part, on the type, type, and/or group of materials. For example, the type of data may include location data, a nearby threat message = device data, information about the next target to be fired, a list of the top ten shooting targets, a threat transmitter data one hundred miles away, from The situational alert (SA) data of satellite communication (SATCOM) and general status data are shown in Figure 4. In addition, the information can be grouped into categories such as "kill pilots", "kill enemies" or, according to the category of information, as shown in Figure 4. Examples of pilot survival, data (eg 'Location data and a transmitter data can be related to the health and safety of the pilot. As an alternative '"kill the enemy" information (for example, the list of _ a target of shooting and - Bai Ying Er Guang 10 Data) can be used as a threatening transmitter _: =1 for another example,, _qing non-combat system related. Slave-like material can be compared with 121788.doc -23- 200816742 as described above 'data type , categories, and/or groups may be the same as and/or similar to the data priority. For example, "make pilots alive" information (eg, location data and transmitter information for a nearby threat) may be used to make the pilot survive. Priority related, which is related to the "killing enemy" priority. "Killing enemies, information (for example, information on the next target to be fired, list of the top ten shooting targets, and a hundred miles away) one Threat transmitter data) is more important. As another example, "kill the enemy" data (for example, the next target of the target, the list of the top ten shooting targets, and one of the threatening transmitters of one hundred miles) can be combined with The enemy of death, the priority of which is related to the priority of "based on information," is more important according to the information π information (for example, SA data from SATCOM and general status data). It can determine the state of a network. For example, the network status can include, questioned bandwidth ", 'limited bandwidth', , design point bandwidth" or, maximum bandwidth". These terms indicate observation performance in enumerated order. The increase can be seen as a reduced amount of damage associated with the uncorrupted link, a reduced amount of reduction by the replacement of the less capable link, and/or a reduced deficit associated with the functional need. The state of the network can be related to the operational status or condition of the network. For example, the network state of "maximum bandwidth" can indicate that the bandwidth is all available for data transfer. As another example, the network state of the design point bandwidth may indicate that certain bandwidths are used, but the amount of bandwidth required to function properly is still available. As an alternative:,, 'questioned bandwidth, , indicating that the bandwidth being used is more than the bandwidth designed for the system. At this point, (4) can appear as _. As another frequency 1 wide second limit bandwidth means that most of the bandwidth is not being used and is not used.

In some embodiments, network analysis component 57 at node A analyzes one or more paths in network 520, such as paths from node a to node B. The data communication component 580 communicates the material. In some embodiments, the data communication component 580 is connected to the network, for example, from a node 510 and/or an application executing on the node 51 or through a network 520 and/or through a node 510. The link of way 520 is to receive the data. In some embodiments, the data communication component 580 sends the data to, for example, a node 51 and/or an application executing on the node 51, or through a network 52 and/or 121788.doc. -32- 200816742 Sends data through a link that connects node 510 to network 520. In some embodiments, data communication component 580 is in communication with data prioritization component 560. More specifically, the material communication component 580 sends the data to the distinguishing component 562 and receives the data from the serializing component 566. Alternatively, data communication component 580 can be in communication with data organization component 568. In some embodiments, data communication component 580 is in communication with network analysis component 570. In some embodiments, data prioritization component 560 and/or network analysis component 570 can perform one or more of the functions of data communication component 580. In some embodiments, data communication component 580 can communicate data based at least in part on data priorities and/or network status. In operation, the data is received by the data communication system 550. More specifically, the data can be received by the data communication component 580 of the data communication system 550. Data may be received, for example, from a node 510 and/or an application executing on node 510. The data can be received, for example, via a network 520 and/or through a link between the connection node 510 and the network 520. For example, data can be received from a radio via a tactical data network at the data communication system 550. As another example, data may be provided to the data communication system 55 by an application executing on the same system via an inter-program communication mechanism. As described above, the data may include, for example, a data block, such as a packet of data, a data frame, a frame, and/or a data stream. In some embodiments, data communication system 550 may not receive all of the lean material. For example, some of the data may be stored in a buffer and the data communication system 550 may only receive header information and pointers to the buffer. As another example, the data communication system 550 can be blocked in a contract stack of an operating system 121788.doc-33-200816742 and when an application transmits data to the operating system through a transport layer interface (eg, a communication terminal) The operating system can then provide access to the material to the data communication system 55A. The data is prioritized by the data communication system 550. In some embodiments, the material prioritization component 560, by means of the data communication system 550, prioritizes the material at least in accordance with the prioritization rules. In some embodiments, the information can be differentiated by distinguishing component 562. For example, the material may be added to and/or withdrawn from the material organization component 568 based at least in part on the queue selection rules and/or functional redundancy rules. As another example, the distinguishing component 562 can distinguish data based, at least in part, on the content of the message and/or the protocol information, as described above. In some embodiments, the data can be sequenced by serialization component 566. For example, data may be removed and/or deducted from the material organization component 568 based at least in part on serialization rules (e.g., lack, cycle, and relative frequency). In some embodiments, the data may be stored, organized, and/or prioritized in the data organization component 568. In some embodiments, data organization component 568 can include queues, trees, tables, linked lists, and/or other data structures for storing, organizing, and/or prioritizing data. In some embodiments, data communication system 550 can prioritize data. In some embodiments, data communication system 550 can determine the priority of a data block. For example, when the material communication system 550 receives a data block, the data prioritization component 560 of the data communication system 55 can determine the priority of the data block 121788.doc -34-200816742. As another example, a data block may be stored in one of the data communication systems 550 and the data prioritization component 56 may be based on a priority determined for the poor block and/or the queue. To retrieve the data block from the queue. In some embodiments, the priority of the data block may be based at least in part on the content of the message. For example, data priority may be based, at least in part, on the type of data, such as video, audio, telemetry, and/or location data. As another example, the data priority may be based at least in part on the delivery application and/or the transfer user. For example, the priority assigned to communications from the general may be higher than the priority assigned to communications from lower-ranking officers. In some embodiments, the priority of the data block may be based at least in part on agreed information associated with the data and/or included in the material, such as a source address and/or a shipping agreement. The agreement information can be similar to, for example, the above agreement information. For example, the data communication system 55 can determine the priority of the data block based on the source address of the data block. As another example, the data communication system 550 can determine the priority of the data block based on the transportation protocol used to communicate the data block. Data prioritization performed by data communication system 550 can be used, for example, to provide Q〇S. For example, data communication system 550 can determine the priority of data received over a tactical data network. This priority can be based, for example, on the source address of the data. For example, the priority given to the source 1] address of the data from the radio of one of the members of the same row as the data communication system 55 may be higher than from a different one of the different operating areas. A data sheet. The priority may be used to determine which of the plurality of columns 伫 121788.doc -35 - 200816742 歹J should be placed for subsequent communication with the data communication system 55. For example, a higher priority profile can be placed in a queue that is intended to hold a higher priority material, so that the data communication system 5 5 can first view the higher priority queue when deciding what information to convey next. . The material may be prioritized based at least in part on one or more rules. As mentioned above, the rules can be defined by the user. In some embodiments, the rules can be provided, for example, in XML and/or via a custom DLL. Rules may Q specify, for example, that information received using one agreement should be preferentially treated than information received using another agreement. For example, the command material may utilize a particular agreement to give the command material a priority over the location telemetry data transmitted using the other protocol via a rule. As another example, a rule may mean that 遥' may give priority to location telemetry data from a first address range that is higher than location telemetry data from a second address range. The first address range may represent, for example, the address of the other aircraft located in the same squadron of the aircraft on which the data communication system 55 is executing. Thus, the second address range U can represent, for example, a p-address of another aircraft located within a different operational area and thus less attractive than the aircraft on which the data wanted system 550 executes. In some embodiments, the data communication system 550 does not discard the material. That is, although the data may have a lower priority, the data communication system 550 does not discard it. Rather, the data is delayed by a period of time, which may depend on the amount of higher priority data received. In some embodiments, data communication system 550 includes a mode or profile indicator. The mode or profile indicator may indicate, for example, the current mode or profile of the data system #500. As noted above, the data communication 121788.doc -36-200816742 system 550 can use rules and modes or profiles to perform flux management functions, such as optimizing available bandwidth, setting information priorities, and managing the network. Data link 530. Different nodes may, for example, implement changes in rules, algorithms, patterns, and/or data transportation. A mode or profile may include a set of rules related to the operational needs of a particular network health state or condition. The data communication system 550 can, for example, provide a dynamic reconfiguration of the mode that includes ''rapid' definition and switch to the new mode.

In some embodiments, the data communication system 5 5 has no precautions for other applications. For example, the processing, organization, and/or prioritization performed by the data communication system 5 5 may be unobstructed for one or more nodes 51 or other applications or data sources. As another example, an application executing on the same system as the data communication system 550, or on a node 510 connected to the data communication system 55, may not notice the prioritization of data performed by the data communication system 55. . The data communication system 550 analyzes the network 52〇. More specifically, the network analysis component 57() of the data communication system 550 can analyze the network 520 based at least in part on network analysis rules. In some embodiments, network analysis component 570 determines the state of network 520. More specifically, the network analysis component 57 can determine the state of the network 520 based at least in part on one or more characteristics of the network 520 (e.g., frequency %, delay, and/or jitter). For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the network analysis component 570 can determine the state of the network 52 "a von maximum bandwidth", "design point bandwidth,,, "restricted bandwidth", And/or "followed bandwidth". In some embodiments, one or more paths, such as 121788.doc 200816742, are analyzed in the network 520. The path from node A to node 8. The data communication system 550 communicates the data. More specifically, the data communication component 580 of the data communication system 550 can communicate the data. The information can be communicated to, for example, a node 5H) and/or An application executing on the node 51 can communicate data, for example, through a network 520 and/or through a link between the node 51 and the network 52. For example, the data communication system 55 can pass through The World of War's material network communicates the data to the radio. As another example, the data communication system 550 can provide the data to the urn that is executed on the same system via the inter-program communication mechanism, as described above. Including (for example) - data blocks, such as data The packet, the data frame, the frame, and/or the stream. In some embodiments, the data communication system 550 communicates the data based at least in part on the data priority and/or the network status. For example, as shown in FIG. If the status of the network 520 is "questioned bandwidth", m can only communicate with the "high" priority information via the network 520 (for example, location data and a near threatening transmitter data) ). As another example, if the status of the network 520 is limited, the bandwidth may be limited, and the information related to the "high" priority may be transmitted through the network 520 (for example, information about the target to be fired). And information related to "zhong" priority (example 'list of ten shooting targets for the month'). That is, if the network status is "restricted bandwidth", Becker communicates the information related to the "high" and "high" and "intermediate" priorities on the network 520, as shown in Figure 4.
